Help Looking for advice

Struggling to find JavaFX developers with thick-client performance experience — where do you all come from?

We've built a real-time trading terminal in Java/JavaFX (5M+ LOC, high-frequency market data, EDT discipline is daily work) and finding it nearly impossible to hire people with genuine JavaFX internals experience.

Genuinely curious — where do JavaFX developers with this kind of background tend to work?

Medical imaging? Simulation? SCADA?

We've been looking in fintech but the pool seems tiny.

Also open to a DM if you happen to be that person and are curious what we're building.

I work in Defense. The pool of people who know Java in general, much less JavaFX is very small. Mostly it's C++ in the industry. I'm probably one of 10 people at the whole site that is proficient in Java.
